How much have you been out in her since you last topped her up?
Is she over heating by any chance?

Check all hoses for tearing or holes. Check the carpet in the passenger footwell, ifs it wet then you have leak in the heater matrix. COuld alkso be a leaky water pump, have a good look around the engine bay.
